This week has me stressed. Tomorrow I take my PawPaw to VA hospital (hes having his thyroid removed Thursday) and thats always nerve wrenching. VA is a little unorganized!

Then Wednesday I see my new T-our first session last week was humiliating...my ankle still hurts from falling and spraining it in her office. Its a nice shade of purple and blue.

Then Thursday I have DBT and see my new pdoc... (both my t and pdoc just left this clinic.)

Friday I picked up the food donation box for my PawPaw because he obviously cant go.

I just hope things run smoothly this week. I cant stand any more humiliation or stress...

I think these steroids they gave me for my ankle and are causing my frustration and mind racing....

All the hugs to you. Just keep pushing. You have good things to look forward to. You're going to a couple therapy appointments. I bet your therapist doesn't care that you sprained your ankle. You should talk to them about it the first thing you do during that session to get it off your mind. I really hope your Papa pulls through and is okay. That would be stressful. Just try to take each day 1 by 1. That might be harder than it sounds but try. I need to do myself. Anyway, I hope your week is less stressful than you think it will be. Also, I see a lot of posts from you on here recently. I hope you're doing okay. You can always pm me if you want. Hugs!
Thanks for this!

Thanks so much. I'm trying to just think about one day to the next. Its just schedules like this make me so stressed and I dread it all.

I think pawpaw will be ok. Hes a tough guy. Hes a veteran of Korea and a cancer survivor.

Thanks again!

I would also suggest that you pay attention to your mood being on steriods. They can push you into hypomania. I found that out when I had a bad asthma situation and had to go on them. My pdoc confirmed that the steroids caused me to go into that hypomania.
Thanks for this!

Yeah like neverending said about the steroids, they push me into hypomania.

Ty I'll watch for that. A friend warned me about it too.

I'm still sleeping well so I'm not worried right now

Sending you soothing vibes. Remember to just breathe when you start to feel overwhelmed.
